Gorgeous looking tank! I'm super jealous you are able to keep both SPS and LPS happy and healthy in the same system.

So on your LPS, I'm assuming there is some rock under them, but as they grow, will they just expand onto the sand bed?

Thanks stones, I will try to post some better pictures. I have a large fish load and feed the crap out of them, literally. Combine that with aggressive nutrience export and that's how I keep both happy.

Water changes every 2 weeks (40 gallons) with instant ocean and some calcium additive from bulk reef, just cause I have some left. very mininum zeovit or for that matter any other additives, mostly K-balance. I clean my skimmer every 3-4 days and its just nasty. Filter socks is the same, every 2-3 days swap out. Thats about it bud. I do siphon the sand every few month and blow off the rock and around the sps with a turkey baster. Major elements are supplied by vertex calcium reactor and avast kalk stirrer. My levels are usually around 7dkh 380-420 calcium and mag is .....
